I wanted to spruce up my favorite Basil Pesto Chicken recipe (coming soon) by adding a Portobello mushroom as the base. This way it stays low carb and the ingredients blend well together.

But I have a confession – I BURNED THE CHEESE. Eek!

I blame “The Bachelor” for this.

After I topped each mushroom with mozzarella cheese and put it in the oven, I forgot about the time! I was so busy watching each woman get out of the limo and embarrassingly introduce themselves to Nick Vaill, that I completely FORGOT!!

Therefore, I only posted the least burned mushrooms. I apologize. Please don’t make my mistake.

Once you have combined the cooked chicken and onions with the basil pesto sauce, your ready to start topping each portobello mushroom.

Add the mozzarella cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

This is what they should look like:

Now, if you burned the cheese like I did (oops) then they may turn out like this. These two were the least burned mushrooms!

Oh hi there!
